Fig. 1. In a converging series of psychological experiments,
I showed that if subjects are presented with the first stimulus
shown below, a rotated parallelogram, they reference it in their
minds to a non-rotated parallelogram, which they then reference
to a rectangle, which they then reference to a square. The important
thing to understand is that they are presented with only the
first figure; and, from this, their minds generate the sequence
shown. | back
